Limnology and Oceanography

Limnology is the study of freshwater environments like lakes, rivers, and wetlands, focusing on their biological, chemical, and physical aspects. Oceanography examines the ocean’s physical properties, marine life, and chemical makeup. Both fields explore how these water systems function, interact, and influence global processes. Limnology helps us understand freshwater ecosystems and their resources, while oceanography reveals insights about marine environments and their role in climate regulation. Together, they provide a comprehensive view of Earth's aquatic systems, vital for managing water resources, conserving ecosystems, and understanding environmental changes.
